All the things I said
Thinks I have said (paraphrase)

1. The PSP is waaaay too expensive, especially with the games going for $40. Spending $250 is silly for a hand held.

2. I don't really play hand held games very much, so there's no sense in me picking up a DS or PSP if I'm only going to play it on airplane rides.

Things I have done:

Bought a PSP on Saturday, along with Lumines and Twisted Metal: Head on (Metal Gear Acid is sold out everywhere except online).

I don't really know what I was thinking, but when I got to play around with the PSP in Circuit City (they let you check it out at customer service) it was so slick I needed it. The screen is utterly fantastic, looks better than my TV except that its small. Its actually pretty decent sized as far as screens go for hand held games. I absolutely love it. The interface for the PSP is really cool, its exactly like a computer from the future that you see in movies. The games come in shrunken down DVD cases, and the actual games themselves are tiny discs in a case that you pop in the PSP.

Lumines is a cool game, pretty analogous to Tetris in gameplay and addictiveness. It plays crazy electronic music and words and images flash on the screen on certain levels (skins). Twisted Metal plays really well on the PSP, with graphics pretty close to the PS2 version. It has a couple of new cars and a bunch of classics, and all of the levels are new. The levels are really huge too, which feels odd in a handheld game. For these two games at least the load times are fine, nothing better or worse than any other console system.

Really I don't know why I bough the thing, but I'm really happy I did. Hey, money is meant to be spent, right?
